DVUK UPDATE
We’ve approached the last quarter of the year 2015 and there are updates and activities lined up for this period.
We intend to:
1.) Have A Vouchers For Refuge Initiative Campaign: We will be collecting small items, toiletries, gift cards and vouchers for the refuges we support at Christmas. This is scheduled to hold from the 1st Of December 2015 to the 18th of December 2015.
We will post the items on the 19th of December 2015 so it gets delivered to the refuges in time before Christmas.
2.) Assist with more telephone counselling sessions: This service is provided by Open Counselling Limited and they are an agency of qualified professional counsellors and therapists who uphold clear values in counselling. They abide by the Code and Ethics of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
We currently offer 8 free sessions to individuals and this is largely due to funding. These sessions focus on the individual’s wellbeing and the areas of counselling are as follows: coping with traumatic events, Self Esteem, Anxiety, Coping/Adjusting with change and general personal development
3.) Love Doesn’t Hurt Campaign Materials: We want to provide Love Doesn’t Hurt Campaign materials to students, youth workers, mentors, support workers, bloggers, office staff…… who are actively involved in raising awareness on the issues of domestic and emotional abuse.
The contents of the campaign materials are Love Doesn’t Hurt Badges, Wristbands, Posters, Signposting Flyers, Cards, Pens*(limited) and Stickers
4.) Love Doesn’t Hurt Christmas Campaign: We will be having our Christmas campaign from the 2nd of November 2015 to the 21st of December 2015. We will be stocking our #lovedoesnthurt Christmas tshirts, red wristbands and hats for people to purchase from our online store. We hope this will contribute to raising awareness on the issues of domestic and emotional abuse as well as supporting the organisation during the festive period.
5) Love Doesn’t Hurt Video Campaign Montage: We will be compiling all the #lovedoesnthurt campaign videos into one video clip. This will be published on or before the 7th Of December 2015
6.) Mutual Support Magazine: We intend to publish our online magazine in December 2015. (This is subject to funding). This is an online interactive magazine with contributions from individuals, professionals and organisations.
7.) Have an Online Fundraising Campaign: We do not receive any grants or government funding and all our operations, projects, campaigns, telephone counselling sessions…… are either self-funded, provided by well-meaning individuals, purchases generated from our online store and donations. We have a small admin team and they put in approximately 100 hours of volunteer work a week.
This includes general administration, setting up telephone counselling referrals, website monitoring, online/text directory maintenance, basic counselling, creating awareness campaigns………. This campaign will run from the 23rd Of November to the 7th Of December 2015.
